Coopers' Troubles to Be settled.


MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April 21.-The
Knights Of Labor have evolve scheme for
settling the trouble among the coopers.
Their plan is to have all the boss shops
placed under the management of commit
tee Of the knights, the wages to be paid
coopers and the prices to be charged for bar
rels, both to be determined by this commit
tee, which will appoint general agent to at
tend to the details. It involves rise in the
prize Of barrels and the millers kick, but the
knights think they can force the matter.
Each barrel will have the Knights Of Labor
stamp on it. and tho millers will be required
TO put up their -four in these barrels II
they refuse their -four Is to be boycotted
The millers held secret meeting to-day and
unanimously resolved that they would shut
iown their mills altogether, rather than al
low the knights to dictate what they should
pay the coopers for barrels. II fight comes
il will be q long and bitter one. There is

Comments ON the Interstate Law.

WASHINGTON, April ~ Senator German.
Of Maryland, referring to the interstate com
merce law. declared that all opposition thus
far manifested came from the railroads
themselves. Their object" said the soma
tor, seems TO be to make the question an
odious one, and thus compel its repeal by
congress Mt its next session. But the rail-
road people might as well make up their
minds to submit gracefully, for the inter
state commerce commission has come to stay.
The mere fact Of few railroad companies
opposing the law win ~pot influence con-

A Caterpillar Sailor.

Twas travelling by rail in the begin ming of last summer when my eye caught sight of caterpillar in the air. Very close inspection showed that it was hanging to an all but invisible thread from the top of the carriage Curious to note what it was about, watched it, and was greatly pleased to see it begin to climb it's superfine rope This it did in the most masterly and business-like style. Sometimes it crouched its head and then sprang for ward; sometimes it went through the same performance with its tail. but generally it accomplished the ascent by doubling itself and then making a sud den leap upward, by stretching itself out at full length Now and then it progressed a little by kind of spiral movement. Though the train was in motion all the while. and the thread was at least twelve times as long as the caterpillar, it succe ssfully reached the iron-work above, where it lay as if ex- hausted with it's efforts. What struck me was the intense earnestness of the creature. It went through all the op- erations like an intelligent sailor climb ing a rope. Golden Days.

gale of wind is blowing that carries away some of the sails and spars, or when the vessel is near. .ng lard in a stiff breeze, there is unceasing labor for the tar. It is thrilling sound, the cry of ''All hands shorten sail, and no sea- man can tell when he will be able to 20 below again. But on board good ship in strong gale, far out at sea, there is comparatively little actual work when the labor of furling the necessary sails has been accomplished. It is all watch ing and waiting, the hoping that some thing will not carry away, and cause some nasty work aloft- The seas sweep over the deck, and render all painting, chipping of iron rust, and polishing of brass work impossible. The helmsman has the hard task then of keeping the ship from being continually flooded by the laundering waves.
 After all, it is not too much to affirm that the calling of the sailor is one oi the hardest on the face of the globe. He lives on a floating house of business which is always carrying hm into un- expected labors, and there is consider able truth is the old nautical saying that ''work at sea is never done.

4 Chicken Which Was Altogether to Ex' pensive to Live.
 She rushed to the telephone and runa it madly. They connected her with the ve.er nary surgeon and her message was brief and concise.
 ''Come right out. You're wanted at once. Don't wait for the car, but take coupe, and get out as quick as you can."
 And he came rushing out.
 "What is it?''
 '.Poor Henrietta Maria! She's very sick"
 ''Henrietta Maria? Who's she!'
 "Oh, she's very sick"
 'I suppose it's a new mare she's been buying" the doctor said to himself. '.Where is she?n
 ''She's lying on a lot of straw in a warm corner of the stable, and oh, doc tor, I'm afraid she will die. You must save her"
 So they rushed out together to the stable.
 He didn't sec any sick mare, but she led him into a corner and pointed to something there, very small.
 "What is it?"
 its Henrietta Maria, my pet chicken. She's so sick"
 The vet was something taken aback. but he laughed, and having examined the chicken, and done something for it, he departed. It was week later, and her husband looked up from his dinner.
 "By the way, my dear, I paid the vet bill today don't recollect sending for him. but he sa you knew about it.. You never told me that he had been here.'
 ''Oh, forgot, dear. want you to morrow and tell them to save ppe some"
 "Yes, but what was the vet up there about?"

 "Yes; but what did you do with the vet?"
 ''It was for Henrietta Maria"
 '.Who is Henrietta Marla?"
 ''It was-she is-well-she is a chicken, and she was taken sick.

STYLES IN ADVERTISING.
What a Reliable Brooklyn Expert Has tC
 Say About Them.

What Reliable Brooklyn Expert Has to
 Say About Them.
 1.-The style of advertising has greatly changed within the past few years, " said gentleman in charge of the ad- vertising department of one of Brook lyn's largest dry goods establishments. ''An advertisement to command atten- ton must be original. The public have tired of such ads as John Smith will receive his customers at his old stand, or Blank & Blank sell dry goods cheaper than any other house in town. The present generation is progressive, and to attract attention one must be original. Old fashioned ads are played out. In former years, even in such big houses as Stewards in New York, the clerk at the button counter was delegated in his off moments to write the advertisements for the news papers. Now all is changed. Every large business house has its separate advertising department. Some houses men to look after their advertising. Since the pictorial craze has obtained such foothold many firms head their columns with pictures descriptive of the goods offered for sale. And then the ad. must be written so as to attract the eye of the reader. If a firm has quantity of underwear to sell, it is folly to say so in the first line. First get your reader interested. Talk about the North Pole; say that it is cold in that region and incidentally mention that winter is coming and that underwear at this season is not an inap- propriate subject. And then, in a con iidential way, tell the reader that your firm has many cases of underwear pur- chased at a bankrupt sale, perhaps, which will be sold at one-half its value. Intersperse if you l ke witty saying here and there, but unless you wish to k Il your ad. in the first line give prices. Ten years ago prices were never given. Now an ad. commands but little atten- tion unless prices are attached"
 Do you believe in the value of adver tising?"
 "Certainly. Were it not for newspa- per advertising and advertising by mall many firms would not be doing bus- ness. When one looks back and notes the difference between newspaper adver- tisn ng twenty years ago and to-day, the changes which have taken place are marvellous. How many fortunes have been made by simply booming an infe- rior patent med cine! Newspaper ad- vertising is yet in its infancy and hope for great things in the future. "-Brook- lyre Eagie.

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
CHRISTMAS DAY.

From every spire on Christmas Eve, The Christmas bells ring clearly out Their message of good will and peace, With many a call, and silver shout. For faithful hearts, the Angels song still echoes in the frosty air, And by the altar low they bow,
 In adoration and in prayer. A thousand blessed memories throng- The stars are holy signs to them, And from the eyes of every child
 Looks forth the Babe of Bethlehem. But there are others-not like these
 Whose brows are sad, whose hopes are
 crossed.
 To whom the season brings no cheer, And life's most gracious charm is lost. To whom that Story, old and sweet,
 Is but a fable at the best The Christmas music mocks their ears, And life has nausht Of joy, or rest.
 The clouds of grief that OCT them rise, The mists of doubt, and unbelief
 That veil the blue of Christmas skies; That they, at last, may see the light
 Which shines from Bethlehem. and unfold For Christ, the treasures of their hearts, Richer than spicery or gold. Hope of the Ages, draw Thou near,
 Till all the earth shall own Thy sway, And when Thou reign'st in every heart, It will indeed be Christmas Day.
 Eleanor 4. Hunter, in Chicago AdUdRce.
